MAME2KN V1.0 (Released on 20 Sept 2001)


A short doc (turn word wrap on)

BEWARE, MAME2KN WILL NOT GIVE ANY WARNING ABOUT OVERWRITING EXISTING .DAT FILES SO TO AVOID THIS COPY IT TO IT'S OWN FRESH DIRECTORY!!!

This program is fairly simple - it's a MAME cheat file to .dat file converter (.dat files are for use with emulators such as Kawaks and Nebula and probably others too). I've included the fairly well documented source so that you can modify if you wish or compile it for other platforms other than the win32 commandline (I compiled it with mingw). Unzip the archive to a folder and use the instructions given if you type the program name mame2kn on it's own.

You can batch convert all the cps1,cps2 and neogeo games by using the requisite bat file - NB You should copy your MAME cheat file to the same dir as the mame2kn.exe file and if necessary rename the cheat file to cheat.dat. Then just do what you want with the created .dat files....you should be able to guess what to do with them it's not rocket science!!


Thanks go to all the folks who have supplied cheats and to JCK whose MAME -> RAINE converters gave me some pointers - saving me some head scratching.
